We open with a recap of what we've been up to, then get into Good or Shit and pick apart a few lighting setups.

From there we get into actually programming a room. Energy levels, grouping lights by location and by control, and how to build presets so you're not riding faders all night. Presets are what let you shift the whole feel of a room in one button push, and we talk about how to build them for walk-in, first dance, walk-out, and everything in between.

We also get into the psychology of it. Lighting changes how a room feels before anyone consciously notices why. If you're not thinking about that, you're leaving something on the table.

Corporate events get their own conversation. Different priorities, different rules. The talent and the stage design come first, and your lighting has to serve that instead of competing with it.
